Ayla: Brilliance II

>

Are you Commandant of the Gray Ravens?

I am Ayla's agent.

Of course, that's neither here nor there. Thanks to you, Ayla's been making a fuss about her installation...

...I think it'd be best for you to come here.

...

Ayla's filled her room will sorts of "blocks" yesterday...

Ayla has been working non-stop carving blocks, and empty cans of energy drinks are all over the place.

You made it.

Are you the commandant that solved Ayla's "puzzle"?

...

The most annoying thing for an artist is unveiling their artwork before it's ready.

If their "puzzle" is solved too early, the artist will have one of two thoughts—

Either they will think they are stupid, or that the viewer is too smart.

So, in order to prove that they aren't stupid, they become almost... paranoid in their attempt to design a new "puzzle."

What are you going on about...

Oh? It's you. What brings you here?

Those are the only two possible explanations as to why you've been up all night working.

Whoever did this to you is responsible for fixing it. As for who, all I had to do was look at the system records.

Really?

...You've really outdone yourself this time.

I just think I can come up with a better puzzle is all.

If you want practical feedback, wouldn't it be better to get advice rather than bury yourself in your work?

If you want your voice to be heard, then you have to let others hear it.

By the way, the person in charge of the art exhibition asked me to tell you that your piece will have to until the next exhibition.

But I suggest that you go today...

Looking at other artists' works might give you some inspiration.

...You only ever seem to make sense at a time like this.

But as your agent, this is all the advice I can give you now.

As for how to frame the "question," that is left to the creator... That's what a former member of the WGAA once said.
